>>51757425>if only because a lot of Gen 2 Pokemon were designed during Gen 1, Everytime I read this shit I lose braincells. It's about time this meme dies.
We know of all the cut 40 pokemon that were cut from gen1, none made it to the final version of gen 2. Moreover we have access to several beta versions of gold and silver that show how they were actively heavily redesigning pokemon all the way through development. Now add to this OP's Sugimori interviews which are the cherry on top.
Tyranitar can be argued to be an heavy redesign of the cut gen 1 pokemon Gyaoon and Ledian can be said to be an heavy redesign of the original Weedle evo but that's about it. Stop spewing false information like it's fact
>>51757435It's literally from 2 ancient interviews, one during gen 2 the other during gen 3
>Also arm nubs has absolutely nothing to do with what we're talking aboutIt's literally a symptom of the intentional simplification of gen 2 designs for the sake of the anime/merch
God people are so fucking stupid it hurts
